An Inconvenient Truth - Friends of the Earth The Big Ask Event at the Prince Charles Cinema, with David Milliband
So I write this not really as a review of the film - it won Oscars, it's frightening and educational at the same time, you owe it to yourself to see it and spread the message, and in my own small way that's what I'm trying to do.Climate change is happening, and it is happening dramatically and with potentially devastating effects within our lifetimes.This event, sponsored by Friends of the Earth and held at the rather lovely Prince Charles Cinema, just off Leicester Square, combined a screening of the film with a Q & A session with Environment minister David Miliband. Despite my reservations over New Labour and this present government, Miliband seems like a good egg and does seem commited to making a difference, although some of the hardcore asking the questions will never accept the changes as enough. I guess this is quite right - demonstrators should be pushing for big changes as much as possible because otherwise nothing will ever be done.So anyway - a good event, and one that will be running throughout the year as the PCC has commited to showing the film every week in 2007. They have Menzies Campbell coming in a couple of weeks and David Cameron has agreed to come at some point during the year.So anyway - here's some important links!http://www.climatecrisis.net/
